A Show of Force

Our letter to the Wal-Mart Board of Directors is really going to open some eyes in Bentonville.

It's passionate, it's compelling and best of all, it's signed by thousands of your fellow Wal-Mart Watch supporters. There's only one thing missing – your signature.

Read the letter, add your name, and demand that the Board of Directors make Wal-Mart a responsible corporate citizen:

At its June 1st meeting, the Board of Directors will determine Wal-Mart's policies for the next year. If we overwhelm them with support for a new direction, they'll finally have to listen.

The only way we'll find out, though, is with a massive show of force and unity. We're up against the largest company in the world and our strength comes from our numbers.

That’s where you come in. Sign the letter and show them that we’re not backing down:

For too long Wal-Mart has gotten away with bullying their employees, polluting the environment, and taking more than their fair share from America's communities. They've gone about their business with a reckless disregard for anything other than the bottom line.

That's a far cry from Sam Walton's vision for his company. He saw Wal-Mart as a corporate leader in compassion, integrity and fairness. Sam once said,

Maybe the most important way in which we at Wal-Mart believe in giving something back is through our commitment to using the power of this enormous enterprise as a force for change.

Under its current leadership, Wal-Mart has been a force for change for the worse. That's not what Sam envisioned.

Our letter to the Board of Directors reminds them of Sam's positive vision for Wal-Mart, and it demands that they return the company to that ideal. Read the letter, sign it, and tell the Board to finally make Wal-Mart a force for good.
